Finally someone was able to convince me to buy this set. I've seen it on store shelves a few weeks ago, but I had ignored it because I was not interested with Dargo's release. However, when I tried to get it a few days ago, the shop no longer have any for sale. The shop owner told me that the product is in high demand. bla bla bla.. heheh. it is a seller's nature to use whatever excuse to sell their products. lol. Anyway i manage to get one so let's see how good is this set.

My first impression? Wow. Two astromech droids in #867A; BB-8 and Imperial Astromech Droid. A bit disappointing because i wish they will include Rey in this set of 8s but Kylo Ren is highlight in this release. As a bonus, there's extra bricks in each box that you can collect and later build micro Millennium Falcon and Tie Fighter.

What's in the box:

Instructions for micro Millennium Falcon and Tie Fighter:

Assembled minifigures:

Baseplate, weapons/accessories and extra parts for the micro build.

Front and rear view of the minifigures:

Tie Fighter Pilot (Star Wars Rebels)

First Order TIE Fighter Pilot. [Pending updated pic]. I've just noticed that I forgot to install Respiratory Pipe to the helmet. I hope i didn't throw it away :(

First Order Stormtrooper Officer

First Order Crew Member

Kylo Ren

First Order Officer

Sabine Wren (Star Wars Rebels)

BB-8 and Imperial Astromech Droid (Star Wars Rebels)

It is clear that these characters are mixed from the latest Star Wars movie The Force Awakens and the animated series Star Wars Rebels. Even the title on the box is Space Wars, not Star Wars. Therefore they can include whatever characters they want in this set. Be thankful they do not include characters from Galaxy Squad or Marvel / DC superheroes in this set. ahaha

I admit it, the print is much better than before. All design (almost all) looks symmetrical and balanced. No loose parts either.

Unfortunately my favorite characters here are the worst in this set :(. Prints on the standard minifigure is quite ok, but the prints on curved surfaces are tilted and distorted.

Oh one more thing, Dargo didn't get the right pauldron cloth for the Stormtrooper officer. They just use simple red cloth instead this one:

Not fair if I just hit Dargo's weaknesses in this set. I think their print is much more better this time and the fact that they can imitate this exact helmet (with Respiratory Pipe) is amazing.

They manage to get the right Kylo Ren's Lightsaber (Croseed 4L/2L Trans-Red Bar) and also been generous for giving extra piece of the hood for him.

Oops they did it again :). Maybe I was too quick to judge after seeing some of the characters that have been issued before.. Superman, Green Lantern, Batman, Flash.. but they have been issued so many times by almost ALL China brand available (^_^)".

I almost completely ignored this set until I noticed a very small detail with the minifigures. Let's see if you guys also noticed it.

Yuppp, they are just another variants (with more fancy torso design and more detail on the leg) but the most important update is the printed side arm! oh gosh i'm super excited about this. pardon me~

Of course they came with accessories and weapons, but I'm less interested in them.

Front/rear view of each figure:Green Lantern

The Flash

I have no idea who is this guy. help! Red Tornado (thanks @lolololololo)

Superman

Wonder Woman

Aquaman

Batman

Cyborg

I know what you all think, and I agree with you. The print and the details are superb but for some figs (especially Green Lantern and Cyborg), their face (including the alternate face) look funny haha..Now let's look at the print on the side of their arm.

Closer look:

I personally love Wonder Woman's arm the most because of the extra line on her left shoulder. These lego arms are very tiny and small yet the print is so sharp and clear :)Anyway, one of Sheng Yuan's latest set of 8s that i definitely ignore is SY293. I've had a lot of Super Heroes variant furthermore I am not a fan of transparent minifigures.
